Surprise 30th Birthday Party

Exactly 2 weeks ago was my 30th birthday. I still don't know what to think of it. I thought that we were just going to go out to dinner for my birthday at Olive Garden with Matt and Emily. Little did I know that Matt and my mom were planning something with my family.
Matt worked until noon and my parents got to our house a little after. Then the rest of my family drove up a few hours later. They all helped decorate and set up food for the night.

Here was my birthday cake. It had candles in it later that said 'oh no, the big 3-0'. I had them left over from when Matt turned 30 back in September and I forgot to use them. No the cake decorator did not mispell my name. That's my nickname that my mom has called me since high school. For those of you who don't know, Matt and I were in the marching band all through high school and one year we had our picture in the paper. It listed everyone's name out and they spelled my name as Winki instead of Wendi. I got a bunch of crap for it from my friends and it just stuck.

This was soon after they surprised me.

My mom got this crown for me to wear and necklace that said something about being 30. After I put them on Emily ran to her room to find her tiara's to wear. LOL

In the video, Emily and I just got home. We usually come through the garage but this time Emily saw something on the porch and started to go up there after we got the mail. I couldn't get her to come through the garage so I just came through the front door expecting to put my stuff up and then come back to let her in. At this point everyone was hiding and then had to move quickly behind the kitchen bar so I couldn't see them. As soon as I opened the door I gasped from seeing the decorations and thought that Matt got off early to decorate. Then all the sudden everyone jumped up from behind the bar and yelled 'Surprise' and I about peed my pants. I couldn't believe they all came up her for my birthday and they all really got me good. I'm just glad I didn't say anything inappropriate since I wasn't expecting people to jump out. They all hid their cars too so I didn't suspect anything. So, here's the video. It's pretty dark since they had all the lights turned off.

Thanks again for everyone coming up to help celebrate this big milestone in my life and making it very memorable.
